So I was tagged more than a month ago by another blog writer and because I couldn't get in to read her site for weeks, am just now responding... (For anyone who doesn't understand tagging, it's when someone who blogs does something on their blog and then challenges you to do the same thing on yours...) If you go to http://www.kellywell.org/date/2005/06/page/2/, you can see Kelly's answers to these fun questions.

Here are mine:

Three screen names I’ve had: I'm pretty stinkin' boring on this one - I always use either cathyandasia or Chatty Cathy. The Chatty Cathy comes from Mrs. Lenhard, a childhood friends' mom who always called me that. They had a piano, but nobody at their house played, so whenever I would go over to their house, she would say "Oh, Chatty Cathy, play me a tune..." I dreaded playing Mrs. Lenhard a tune, but I always did it.

Three things I like about myself: I think I'm pretty funny (at least I can really crack myself up... ), I have great legs. I'm a very loyal friend.

Three things I don’t like about myself: I have the classic Carson butt - horrifically flat and wider than wide. I have a tendency to think I'm always right. I'm lazy.

Three parts of my heritage: I used to tell kids I was related to Kit Carson - does that count?

Three things that scare me: Turbulance on airplanes. Driving near rivers with my kids in the car - I always imagine us driving into the river and I would have to decide which kid to get out of the car first... Being in the dark when Asia is trying to scare me.

Three of your everyday essentials: 1. Chapstick (in the generic sense, not the brand name sense - I actually prefer Bath and Body works Vanilla Sugar flavored lip balm.) 2. A hot cupasomethin' when I get up. It always used to be coffee, now I'm trying to make it green tea as often as I can. And 3. I gotta wash my face as soon as I get up - I can't stand that slippery greasy morning face feeling.

Three things you are wearing right now: Jean shorts, a red sleeveless top, my wedding ring.

Three of my favorite songs: "Georgia" sung by Ray Charles. "Choose Life" by Big Tent Revival and "Yesterday" by Switchfoot.

Things I want in a relationship: Laughter. Patience. Communication.

Two truths and a lie: I was thrown from a rolling car when I was 14. I have double jointed shoulders. My father was a trapeeze artist with Barnum and Bailey from 1956 to 1960.

Three things I can’t do without: God's word, pen and paper.

Three places you want to go on vacation: Tuscany, Paris, and always the Oregon coast.

Three things you just can’t do: Cartwheels. Make small talk. Dance.

Three kids names: Mystical Purple Haze, Moon Unit, Running Dookie.

Things you want to do before you die: Spend a month in Paris. Give up soda. See my kids serving God as adults.

Three celeb crushes: John Cusack. Bill Pullman. Christopher Plummer. (Not so much now that he's almost 80, but in The Sound of Music he is SO sexy...

Three people you want to know these things about: Umm, I don't think there are three people who read my blog who also blog... so I'll be leaving this blank. If you want to be tagged, consider this your invitation and be sure to leave me a comment so I can go read your answers!

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
